E.O.T.C On Monday

E.O.T.C Monday

Aotea Lagoon

On Monday we walked to Aotea lagoon. We had to walk beside a construction site so that meant that we had to keep crossing roads.

We walked in pairs and buddies but some people had very large groups. I walked with my friends. When we got there we found a spot a couple of steps away from the big lake in the middle of the lagoon.We sat down and we waited for instructions. The first instruction was to sit down and listen to the teachers, the second instruction was to eat and drink and the last instruction was to listen to the teachers a bit more and then everyone could run off into the playground.

The first game I played was with my friends and we played busted on the big spider web that was red and blue. The first one to be in was my friend cousin Tanika, we were climbing as fast as we could but my other friend named Warda got tagged because she was too slow. Warda was trying so hard to climb it but before she tagged anyone I quit the game because I was tired.

I started walking around the lagoon park doing nothing but then my friend yells out to me “ WANITA!!!!!!” I quickly turned around as if I thought someone was following me but in fact there was someone following me. RONITA!!! She asked me if I wanted to play this game how you had to go down these ropes with black round seats spread out on them. I said “ ok” then we went up to the deck where we were starting and then my other friends came. Warda, Tanika and Rhiannon. It was a competition that who could get to the bottom the fastest and who had the fastest time. Ronita went first and she took 10 seconds, then Warda went down and had a time of 20 seconds, then Tanika went down and took 3 minutes and 45 seconds, then I went down and it took me 1 minute and 30 seconds because I am scared of heights and last of all Rhiannon and she had a time of 10 seconds exactly like Ronita. We kept doing it because it was fun but after awhile we stopped because it got boring. Warda’s parents came down to see her so  we went with her to say hi.

After that we played normal tag around the park. We were running up to the bridge and we went down the slide to run away from warda. I quickly ran out of breath and stopped playing the game.

I went back to the spot we were at and played tug of war and jump rope. We randomly split into groups and tried as much as we could to get it half way but our team lost. Then we played jump rope and Rhiannon won because she was the last one standing.

Then we walked back to school and Warda taught me Urdu and I taught her Māori. It was so hard because we had to walk up a massive hill and a short one.

At the end of the day we were lying on our class floor and moaning about the big walk back to school, but not all of us were on the floor because some of us were at are desks.
